Whaaaaat? Payne's film is great fun while Johnnie To's triad film, while it has some good moments, is just average.

odd combination... is that for both or separate or what?
LemonMacPhisto said:Walk Hard was absolutely hilarious. It's incredibly silly and doesn't at all take it self seriously, but still manages to do a much-needed riff on the pretentious music biopic genre. If anything, this movie re-affirmed two things for me: John C. Reilly's one of the 5 funniest guys working today and Jenna Fischer is painfully hot.
Definitely check out if you enjoy comedy, but don't get too caught up in the realism of it all.

Hubby and I laughed throughout this...it is nice to just watch silliness every once in awhile..."I've been cut in half real bad".... is one of my favorit lines
deep said:Since I did not read any of the books
and only saw The Golden Compass. as a "movie", I can say I really liked it.
I like it more than that 'Narnia' movie.
lazarus said:I liked it as well. I agree it should have been longer, and it's a shame it didn't do well, because now it's not clear whether or not they will ever make a sequel. It pretty much put the studio out of business.
If you haven't read the book you'll love it, if you have you'll be a bit disappointed.

The man still knows how to frame a face. Better than anyone, really.

It was Hard Eight in the theaters when it came out.
I remember seeing it because my date liked Gwyneth Paltrow
I did not know who PT was then. I have seen all of his films in the order they were released on the big screen. Hard Eight is a strong debut, he has many of his usual actors.
Keep in mind that he was only around 26 when he made it.
I think you will enjoy it.
deep said:I watched the Lolita with Jeremy Irons before I read the book, really like the film a lot
Lolita, the book is a master work!
I tried to watch Kubrick's Lolita, after reading the book, I could not watch it at all.
